Multiple input parameters for the method execute() of AsyncTask

Question

everyone. I have read on the android site the description of the excute() of AsyncTask:

public final AsyncTask execute (Params... p

Answer 1

Read Params... params as Params[] params. You can send as many params as you want.

Answer 2

Here is how I got it to pass multiple parameters. You could do it as Boris described, but what if you pass different types?

First, create your AsyncTask as normal, but within it, create a constructor:

    private class StartTask extends AsyncTask<Context, Void, Boolean> 
    {
        private ProgressDialog progress;
        private String strAction="";

        public StartTask(ProgressDialog progress, String Action)
        {
            this.progress = progress;
            this.strAction = Action;
        }
    }

Now, on your event or anything else, when you want to kick off the action you call your AsyncTask and pass as many parameters as you want.

    ProgressDialog progress = new ProgressDialog(this);
    progress.setMessage("Loading...");
    String strAction = "this_is_a_string";
    new StartTask(progress, strAction).execute(this);

You can see that calling "StartTask" and passing the constuctor parameters will now assign the variables within the StartTask class.
